LOL, that's brilliant. As a matter of interest, what is the rule regarding knocking or running straight through the hurdles? It can't be legal to just run straight through them, I presume?

No, definitely not.

Rule 168.7:

A competitor who trails his foot or leg below the horizontal plane of
the top of any hurdle at the instant of clearance, or jumps any hurdle
not in his own lane, or in the opinion of the Referee deliberately
knocks down any hurdle by hand or foot, shall be disqualified.

So multiple DQs there.
